Every 850 Professional IC instrument can be supplemented with up to 3 extension modules. The 872 Extension Module – Liquid handling extends the possibilities of inline sample preparation and liquid handling. Up to six auxiliary solu- tions can be provided in the instrument.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 1.2 Intended use Intended use With the 872 Extension Module – Liquid handling, an 850 Profes- sional IC instrument can be extended to include a broad range of addi- tional sample preparation possibilities without having to modify the instru- ment in between.
The electrical safety when working with the instrument is ensured as part of the international standard IEC 61010. WARNING Only personnel qualified by Metrohm are authorized to carry out service work on electronic components. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module – Liquid handling...

Connector For the 10-port valve. Like the other Metrohm sample vessels, the mixing vessel is made of poly- propylene PP. It has an extremely smooth surface which permits no drop formation. The mixing vessel can be readily rinsed out and dried. It can be used for anions as well as for cations.
Following the switchover of the valve (8-2), the measured sample seg- ment (8-5) is conveyed by aspiration with the Dosino (8-1) through the 10-port valve (8-4) into the transfer tubing (8-6), from where it can be conveyed onward to a different outlet. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module – Liquid handling...

In such cases, the Metrohm Service must be informed. Spillages of chemicals and solvents should be cleaned up immediately. In particular, the plug connections on the rear panel of the instrument (espe- cially the mains plug) should be protected from contamination.
Therefore fully lift the tubing cartridges by loosening the snap- action lever (19-10) on the right-hand side if the peristaltic pump is to be turned off for a longer period. Once set, the contact pressure remains unaffected. ■■■■■■■■ 872 Extension Module – Liquid handling...
